I of course am happy for those who live in the northern part of The Villages, as if this is true will be helpful for them. With The Villages expanding more south, I guess I was hoping more towards the Rt 44 or Rt 48, Rt 301 area......

I could be totally wrong, but for me at least Ocala seems much farther away then the Orlando, Clermont, Groveland area....where The Villages is heading to and where it is already booming by leaps and bounds.

Oh Well. life is good and we of course are still very blessed even without a closer Costco.

Frank, get on the turnpike westbound off 301 and you will be in Ocala in 20 minutes. But the better Costco is Wesley Chapel. South on I-75 to exit #275 (Land O' Lakes), turn right from ramp and left at second light. Much larger Costco, no tolls, a whole lot less crowded. Just be ready to race. If you're going less than 80 you should be in the slow lane.
